Quebec City Christmas

Day 1

We'll begin our getaway with an early morning pick up in Belleville at 7:00 AM. From there, we'll continue along picking up other passengers in Kingston, Gananoque, and Brockville. Once everyone in our group is on board, we'll travel to Quebec City making a comfort stop for lunch (on your own) along the way. This afternoon we'll arrive in Quebec City, the capital of French speaking Quebec, and the oldest European city in North America.

When we arrive, we'll meet our local guide for a walking tour of Old Quebec. Make sure to pack some comfortable footwear for our stroll through the cobblestone streets inside the only walled city north of Mexico! Visit some of Quebec City's top attractions - like the Fortifications of Quebec, Citadelle of Quebec, Notre-Dame-des-Victoires Church and more.

The Manoir Victoria will be our hotel during our stay. It is ideally located inside the wall and close to several wonderful restaurants. After we check into the hotel, the remainder of your evening is free to enjoy at your leisure.

Day 2

Breakfast is included at the hotel this morning. After breakfast, we'll meet our local guide. We have 6 hours of touring planned for today including the Christmas markets and exploring the city. Today is the Quebec City German Christmas Market. This market offers its visitors a unique and unforgettable experience. Everything is set up to recreate the festive and warm atmosphere of the major European Christmas markets, in the magical setting of Old Quebec!

Dinner tonight is on your own again. Following our visits to the markets, the remainder of the day/evening is yours to enjoy.

Day 3

Breakfast is included at the hotel again this morning. Today we'll tour throughout Quebec City including the Quebec City Arts District with the lights above Ave Cartier and Festive Grande Alle.

We'll also make a visit to Musee National des Beaux-Arts du Quebec. This wonderful and impressive museum houses a diverse collection from Inuit to modern and all from Quebec. The 2016 opening of the spectacular new wing increased the museum's space by 90% and completely transformed it from a neoclassical museum in the park to a museum with a slick and modern wing right on the city's liveliest avenue, the Grande Allee. You'll enjoy a guided tour here.

Our final stop today will be at Montmorency Falls. The spectacular falls are 275 feet tall, the tallest in Quebec, and nearly 100 feet taller than Niagara Falls.

Following today's sightseeing, we'll return to the hotel where the remainder of your evening is free to enjoy at your leisure.

Day 4

Today is our final day in Quebec City. After enjoying breakfast at the hotel, we'll checkout and make our way to today's excursion before heading home.

After leaving the hotel, we'll visit Sucrerie de la Montagne. This traditional Quebecoise sugar shack is always a highlight for passengers. The excursion includes a shuttle in a sleigh or wagon pulled by horses, a traditional all you can eat Christmas feast, and live music!

After visiting the sugar shack, we'll board the motorcoach and begin our journey home. A comfort stop will be made along the way.
